My brother bought the same set from this guy last summer...he ended up selling the rims to some kid within 2 months - there was massive tramlining and the material on these things is really cheap, they get scratched in no time.

The shop keeper is some Indian dude who basically has a store full of cheap unbranded rims.

I'd always recommend going for original rims or if you are to go for aftermarket - go for brands instead of this stuff.

I bought 2 sets of rims from that place before I realized how stupid I was...the first set were 18x8's which I purchased for roughly 1100 including tires, I literally threw them in a dumpster after I found out they were warped, the paint was coming off of them and the "great quality" no name tires were infact poor quality s**t tires that blew while driving 50 down Kennedy road in Brampton (left front tire)...the second set were fast Europa rims 18x8 in the front, 18x9 in the back, with Bridgestone potenzas all around. The rims were definitely better quality but I was given the wrong offset which somehow ended up rubbing the inside of my wheel well also blowing that tire, I since have sold them and put back the oem rims...so basically I've had a bad experience with their inexperienced staff you could say. Your better off going to an active green and Ross believe me

I'll chime in, since I have their VMR V710 reps. Most of their rims are flavored for people who like chrome, massive size, and generally want flash for their cash.. without caring about the actual product going on their car.

That said, my 18" rims are only 2lbs heavier than my previous 16's, and since they had no more of the cheap branded tire when I walked in, they upgraded me to Yokohamas for free. The rims themselves seem to be holding up fine (Bought in early 2011) but I don't winter drive my car, and they did require a few weights to balance right off the bat.

A few notes, they have no idea how to properly torque your wheels. Your E46 needs 87ft/lbs, etch that deep inside your mind. Also, don't expect brand name, I was somewhat lucky and received USA made "MSR alloys".

If I could do things again, I would probably get a light set of 17's, or oem ZHP wheels. No regrets however, they still look great and haven't given me any problems. My advice is if you're going to get replica wheels, it doesn't really matter with a ~$1000 budget.
